Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has completed 72% of its major Nol payment system upgrade, bringing the city closer to a fully cashless public transport network. The first phase will introduce QR code ticketing, followed by next-generation Nol cards that support bank cards and digital wallets. Users will be able to create personalized accounts, link multiple Nol cards, enable automatic top-ups, and manage family members’ cards. The system enhancements aim to provide greater convenience and smoother travel across Dubai’s metro and bus networks. Completion of the full upgrade is expected by the end of Q1 2027.
